Health Care: Democrats used to say the more people knew about ObamaCare, the more they'd like it. Well, the public has had almost two full years to soak it in, and more want it repealed than ever.

A Quinnipiac University poll last week found 52% of Americans want ObamaCare scrapped. That's up from 44% last May. Meanwhile, just 39% want to keep it, down from 45%. Even one in five Democrats now says Congress should repeal the law.

That hasn't kept liberals from calling ObamaCare foes idiots, which is what Democratic party head Debbie Wasserman Schultz did when asked about the poll.

Americans only oppose ObamaCare because they "didn't know" about its many benefits. "The pieces of health care reform, when you ask Americans about them, they overwhelmingly support them," she said.

My dear Ms. Wasserman Test Schulz, with all due respect, that is a totally imbecilic statement. That's like asking Americans if they like pizza, cheeseburgers, fried chicken, tacos, beer, wine, cake, pie, candy and ice cream. And when they say, "overwhelmingly," that they like each of these items, you say, "Great! That's what's for dinner tonight. Oh, and by the way, dinner will cost a thousand dollars."

(How bad would an Obama II administration be, without the constraints of re-election?)

Our company offered three plans last year. A Cadillac, a Chevy and a Yugo. The Cadillac is gone and the Chevy now costs as much. I am getting ready to retire and have to carry a COBRA because my wife is younger than me. The Yugo will cost as much as a COBRA this year as the Cadillac did as a COBRA last year. The Company is getting compliant with ObamaCare.

Projection whether intended, or not. Democrats may be clever, cunning, and tenacious, but when it comes to stupid they have the corner on the market as proven constantly by the unintended consequences, or Wile E. Coyoteisms as they chase after their Roadrunner.

Common Sense is natural order. The Democrats/Liberals haven’t any, and it shows in the results of everything they cause an alteration to the natural order.

Let me introduce to you the next President  the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden. slipping up while introducing Joe Biden at their first joint campaign rally, Springfield, Illinois, Aug. 23, 2008

Just this past week, we passed out of the out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee  which is my committee  a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they dont obtain a nuclear weapon. referring to a committee he is not on, Sderot, Israel, July 23, 2008

Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israels. It will be a strong friend of Israels under a McCain administration. It will be a strong friend of Israels under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change. Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008

Hows it going, Sunshine? campaigning in Sunrise, Florida

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes  and I see many of them in the audience here today  our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.

Hold on one second, sweetie, were going to do  well do a press avail. to a female reporter for ABCs Detroit affiliate who asked about his plan to help American autoworkers (Watch video clip)

The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesnt. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesnt know, you know, theres a reaction thats been bred in our experiences that dont go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and thats just the nature of race in our society.

Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions. exasperated by reporters after a news conference

Youre likeable enough, Hillary. during a Democratic debate

In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died  an entire town destroyed. on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people

The Democrats got their "shellacking" over this issue in the 2010 mid-terms elections. They not only think we're dumb, they thing we have Alzheimer's disease.

This issue has not gone away, as obviously the left expected it would. It must be absolutely frightening for them to see the poll cited in the article above.

Will they change course? I doubt it. Obama continues to be the only one in the room who believes he can speechify his way out what appears to be yet another rock and hard place he's gotten himself between.

At least its not anyone who doesnt like ObamaCare is mentally ill and needs treatment - yet.

And the next step is "........treatment at a facility of our choosing. But, we'll provide transportation on the cattle car of your choice."

Truly, and I don't say this lightly, I think that "ObamaCare" could be the end of America as we know it. Everyone always says that "XXXX will be the "Most Crucial / Turning Point / pick a hyperbole" Election, ever" But, hyperbole aside, I think that 2012 is the year where America will decide to continue the slide into socialism, or take a few steps back from the edge of the precipice.

I'll grant that it may take a couple of generations to get *really* bad. But I think that history will show that right now was where the decision was made.

When your family or friends cannot explain why they voted Democrat, give them this list. Then they can then pick a reason from this “TOP 12”...

1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene,
but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

2. I voted Democrat
because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

3. I voted Democrat
because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

4. I voted Democrat
because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

5. I voted Democrat
because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius.

6. I voted Democrat
because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

7. I voted Democrat
because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the social security from those who paid into it.

8. I voted Democrat
because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.

9. I voted Democrat
because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

10. I voted Democrat
because I think that it’s better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.

11. I voted Democrat
because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world,
I was promised
“HOPE AND CHANGE”.

12. I voted Democrat
because my head is so firmly planted up my ass, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.

Who's stupid here? 100 million civilians were murdered by their own governments in the twentieth century as those governments sought to impose socialism on those civilians. Whether it was National Socialism, Soviet Socialism, Maoist Socialism, or little pikers like Pol Pot who only got 2 Million killed, socialism causes death and poverty.

When offered a choice, people do not select socialism. Debbie and the dopes like socialism, the free people of America do not.

Again, who's stupid?
